Another Synonym Book 

50 cents— Likes and Opposites— Cloth. 

The publishers are not going to apologize for adding 
one more to the already numerous list of books of syno- 
nyms. In this field, as in others, there are books and books. 
But as yet there is no other just like this. And the one 
persuading reason which induced the publishers to produce 
this book is their discovery, in their business as general 
schoolbooksellers, of a very wide demand for exactly the 
book that this is. 

The truth is that the average writer or speaker is not 
studying synonyms as an abstract, scientific subject, and 
therefore has little use for an exhaustive work like Roget's 
Thesaurus which requires one to search through too many 
columns of words in order to find the word desired. The 
writer at work on his paragraph, or the speaker preparing 
his " extempore speech," generally has on the end of his 
pen or tongue a certain word that does not come instantly 
to mind, and he wants to find that word " quick." Such 
a writer — be he the student at school, the teacher at his 
desk, the preacher in his study, the penny-a-liner, the 
stenographer at his keyboard, or the merchant in business 
hours — is not after an array of out-of-the-way words with 
which to astonish people. But he is trying to recall one 
certain elusive word. He knows that word when he sees 
it ; and he wants a book of handy size in which by look- 
ing for it, he can see that word without delay. 

Now there are already several such books, but most of 
them don't give the antonyms, or opposites — an extremely 
useful, and really necessary feature, because enabling one 
to find the unremembered wordeven when his only clue is 
some other word that has the opposite meaning. 

So while compiling this list of synonyms and their 
opposites we have tried carefully and faithfully to omit 
words which the average writer or speaker does not care 
to use on ordinary occasions ; but we have with equal 
care and just as faithfully tried to include just that word 
in every case, which, as we all so often confess, "would 
exactly express my idea if I could only recall it ," but which 
word persists in eluding us though actually on the end of 
our tongue.

AText=Book on Letter- Writing 

cloth— 75 cents Postpaid— 165 pages 

Believing that the social and business career of 
our youth demands that as much attention should be 
bestowed upon Letter-Writing in our schools, as 
upon Grammar, Orthography, Penmanship, and 
other elementary studies, we have published a text- 
book showing the correct structure, composition, and 
uses of the various kinds of letters, including busi- 
ness letters. There have been added classified lists 
of abbreviations, foreign words and phrases most fre- 
quently used ; and important postal information. 

Our endeavor has been not only to produce just the book to 
guide the youth and the adult in social correspondence and the 
business man in commercial letter- writing, but also to provide ihe 
teacher with a text-book that can with confidence be placed in the 
hands of the pupils, boys and girls, to be studied by them like a 
text- book on any other subject for class recitations. That our 
book has been carefully planned for this purpose, and the matter 
conveniently arranged for class-room work, the following list of 
the contents bears evidence : 

Part I.— Letters, Notes, and Postal Cards. 
KINDS OF LETTERS. Social, Domestic, Introductory; Business, 
Personal, Official ; Miscellaneous; Public, orOpen. Postal Cards. 
STRUCTURE OF LETTERS. Materials; The Heading, The Intro- 
duction, The Body, The Conclusion, Folding, The Superscrip- 
tion, The Stamp. Tvpe-writer Correspondence. 
THE RHETORIC OF LETTERS. General Principles, Special Ap- 
plications. Style and Specimens of Social Letters; of Business 
Letters ; of Notes. 

Part II —Orthography and Punctuation. 
RULES. For Forming Derivatives, etc.; For Capitals; For Punctua- 
tion ; Special Rules. 

Part III.— Miscellaneous.

Pros and Cons 

The Affirmative and the Negative of the Questions Of The Day 
in the form of 

Complete Debates 

cloth— Price $1.50 Postpaid— twelvemo 

Something new, something practical, something up-to-date. 
A book that exactly fits into these last years of this wonderful 
last decade of the passing century. 

Besides giving complete directions for the organization and 
the conduct of Debating Societies in accordance with parliamen- 
tary procedure, this book in many of its debates presents the 
speakers as actually addressing their hearers from "the floor," 

each speaker in turn with his arguments the first speakers 

for the affirmative and the negative in turn ; then the second 
speakers in turn ; in some cases, the third speakers ; and then 
the summing up by the leaders. 

The array of arguments thus marshalled constitutes an intelli- 
gent and intelligible statement of every principle and every fact 
affecting the questions debated, thus providing not enly an ex- 
haustive study of each question enabling a thorough mastery of it 
for knowledge sake, but also furnishing a thoroughly instructive 
and decidedly lively and entertaining program for an evening's 
pleasure and profit. 

Among the important topics discussed are the following : — 

Government Control. Immigration. 

Our Foreign Policy. The License Question. 

The Tariff. The Suffrage. 

The Currency Question. Postage. 

Transportation. Our Commercial Policy. 

And many others. 

There is also a list of " questions''' 1 suitable for debate, several of 
which are " briefly outlined,"'' to assist the student to prepare and to 
deliver his own " effort." 

Essays and orations, many of them suitable for commencement 
parts, Salutatory and Valedictory addresses, supplement the debates, 
the whole providing for the student at college and the high school 
scholar, the parent at home, and the man of affairs, just that equip- 
ment that one needs not only for thinking out the questions that every- 
body is talking about, but for arguing them in a convincing manner.

College Girls* 
Three=minute Readings 

$1.00— CLOTH, 500 PAGES, WITH INDEX— $1.00 

Here is a volume for American girls by American 
women — an ideal long in demand, now realized for the 
first time. In this book patriotism is the keynote domi- 
nating a series of new, fresh, speakable selections, pathetic, 
humorous, descriptive, oratorical ; running, in fact, 
the gamut of the emotions. A book for the American 
girl and the American young woman in the college, the 
high school, the academy, and the home. 

This new book is new in every sense of the word, but 
particularly in voicing the golden thoughts of scores of 
the living representative women of America— women edu- 
cators, women philanthropists, women reformers. 
Here is a. partial list of the contributors : 
Mrs. A. Giddings Park " Susan Coolidge " 

Eva Lovett Cameron {Brooklyn Eagle) Agnes E. Mitchell 
Edith M.Thomas Rev. AnnaH Shaw 

Emma Lazarus Margaret Junkin Preston 

Adelaide Procter Amelia Barr 

Cel'a Thax'er Norah Perry 

Christina Rossetti Aiice Cary 

Anna Robertson Lindsay Adeline Whitney 

J. Ellen Foster Emily Warren 

Margaret E. Sangster Lucy Larcom 

Clara Barton Ella Wheeler Wilcox 

Frances E. Willard Harriet Beecher Stowe 

Kate Doug as Wiggn Mar. Mapes Dodge 

Isabel A. Malloni Ladies' Home Journal)" 'Gail Hamilton" 
and there are many others. 

A brief note, happily worded, conveying information not to be 
found elsewhere, regarding the author or the occasion, accompanies 
most of the selections. 

Teachers will find selections appropriate to Memorial Day, Arbor 
Day, Washington's Birthday, and all other patriotic occasions. And 
from the pages of this book speak the voices of many of our 
presidents, from Washington to McKinley. 

Besides a perspicuous list of contentz,the volume contains a complete gen- 
eral index by titles a7id authors; and also a separate index of authors, thus 
enabling one who remembers only_ the title to find readily the author, or 
who recalls only the author to find just as readily all of her selections. 

Like the companion volume, College Men* s Declamations, this work 
contains many "pieces" suitable both for girls and boys, and the two books 
may well stand side by side upon the shelf of every student and every 
teacher, ever ready with some selection that is sure to please, and exactly 
suited to the speaker and to the occasion.

College Men's 
3=minute Declamations 

$1.00— CLOTH, 381 PAGES, WITH INDEX— $1.00 

Here at last is a volume containing just what college 
students have been calling for time out of mind, but 
never could find — something besides the old selections, 
which, though once inspiring, now fail to thrill the 
audience, because declaimed to death! Live topics pre- 
sented by live men ! Full of vitality for prize speaking. 

Such is the matter with which this volume abounds. 
To mention a few names — each speaking in his well- 
known style and characteristic vein : 

Chauncey M. Depew President Eliot {Harvard) 

Abram S. Hewitt George Parsons Lathrop 

Carl Schurz Bishop Potter 

William E. Gladstone Sir Charles Russell 

Edward J. Phelps President Carter ( Williams) 

Benjamin Harrison T. De Witt Talmage 

Grover Cleveland Ex-Pres. White {Cornell) 

General Horace Porter Rev. Newman Smyth 

Doctor Siorrs Emilio Castelar 

Here, too, sound the familiar voices of George William Curtis, 
Lowell, Blaine, Phillips Biooks, Beecher, Garfield, Disraeli, Bryant, 
3rady, and Choate. Poets also :— Longfellow, Holmes, Tennyson, 
3yron, Whittier, Schiller, Shelley, Hood, and others. 

More than a hundred other authors besides ! We have not space 
o enumerate. But the selections from them are all just the thing. 
\.nd all the selections are brief. 

In addition to a perspicuous list of contents, the volume contains a com* 
Mete general index by titles and authors ; and also a separate index of 
authors, thus e7iabling one who remembers only the title to find readily the 
author, or who recalls only the author to find just as readily all of his 
selections. 

Another invaluable feature :— Preceding each selection are given, 
so far as ascertainable, the vocation, the residence, and the dates of 
birth and death of the author ; and the occasion to which we owe the 
oration, or address, or poem. 

Like the companion volume, College Girls' Readings, this work coo. 
tains many " pieces " suitable both for girls and boys, and the two books 
may well stand side by side upon the shelf of every student and every 
teacher, ever ready with some selection that is sure to please, and exactly 
suited to the speaker and to the occasion.
